The 2018 St. John the Baptist grad from West Islip hit .367 for the GCL Phillies last season. The 25th-round pick was in spring training with the Phillies and was behind the plate in Bryce Harper’s first simulated game after the star signed a huge free-agent deal. O’Hoppe is currently in extended spring training, awaiting assignment to a minor-league team.
